Installing Amp and Sub with Factory Stereo

[gurman13o]

Hey i have a 2002 Toyota 4Runner (2WD)
and i currently have a 1000Watt Mono Lightning Sound S1.1000d AMP and i ordered this AMP wiring kit

I also have a 15'' MTX subwoofer. I am planning on hooking all this up to my factory stereo. Im guessing i need a RCA HIGH/LOW converter... Is there anything else i need? and also will one RCA-High/low converter be able to get my amp to play my Subwoofers and all 4 speakers?

the amp you have is designed for the subwoofer(s) only.

The RCA hi/lo converter (line output converter) will allow the amplifier to get a low level signal, you will need to connect this to the speaker outputs behind the radio. While the line output converters work, i suggest getting a new headunit with a subwoofer control. You will be able to turn on/off the subwoofer and raise/lower the volume of the subwoofer from the headunit.

make sure you run your power + remote turn on wires on the opposite side of the vehicle as the RCA wires, those ebay amp kits are not shielded well, and its likely you will get noise (even with subs) with rca's like that
